Timely and topical garbage with a corny Independence Day style speech at the end. I think Gerard Butler may have shown us the way in this film: just kill everybody. It seemed to work for him.

I'd like to put on record that I only went to see this film because I was bored, NOT because I base my whole life on the teachings of Gerard Butler.

In the event that this whole Korea thing does, erm, blow up, please don't expect help from the UK. Our entire military now consists of two squads of soldiers, a Cessna with a front mounted water pistol, and a recently repaired inflatable dinghy.

While reality is quite a bit different, recent and current UK "leaders" surely make it feel that way. I sympathise.

Daniel Snyder has defined incompetence, failure and greed to true Washington Redskins fans for over a decade and a half. Stay away from football operations !!!

I do not think you have had a Statesman or Stateswoman as a leader from either party since Maggie. Did you see my "leaders" post above? It referred to all UK leaders since her.

It has always bewildered me why one of the least competent US Presidents in modern history would outplay a smarter and far better educated Labour PM at the time. I have read a couple on insightful analyses which aim to explain this dynamic but I am not yet convinced.

At least your former PM has a job in US academia (but students are apparently not allowed to ask questions or divulge the confidential nature of his lectures).

Too bad, I would have asked: How did you allow a less educated man to outplay you and got you to pursue such disastrous economic, military and foreign policies??? But I do not have a fortune to spend on tuition to ask that question.
